THE DALLIANCES OF BEING SINGLE HOLD NO ALLURE

Having endured an unhappy marriage for 12 years, from which I felt there was no escape, I have delighted in my present marriage for 14 years. Whereas during the first marriage's unhappiness I may well have benefited from a friend's example of how to extract myself from the relationship, no such example would have any value for me now as my marriage is rock solid. When an individual matures and recognises they have struck gold, the dalliances of others and the apparent 'freedom' of singledom hold no allure.http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/life/relationships/article4092267.ece
